Chapter 1106: Snake in the Atrium

Fan Meinan’s expression changed again. She shifted her gaze from Beta to the white kitten in her arms. Coincidentally, the kitten was also looking at her, but there was no expression in its green pupils. They looked like two green agates without any impurities.

Fan Meinan knew that Loki was the world’s most outstanding transformation master. When Cheng Sihan brought her to meet Loki for the first time, the kitten had transformed into a Scottish fold.

Thus, it would be unsurprising if Loki transformed into a little white kitten and appeared here tonight. In fact, this was also why Fan Meinan couldn’t recognize Beta immediately. Beta entered the abandoned subway line with Cheng Sihan. At that time, she didn’t bring the cat with her, and Beta never went out again. The chances of her picking up a cat here were basically zero.

Of course, if the cat were Loki, then it would be a different story.

However, faced with Fan Meinan’s questioning gaze, Beta neither admitted nor denied it. She just smiled. “Teacher knows why you came to him. You probably don’t have much time left. Tsk, tsk. How pitiful. You hope teacher can find you a way to cheat death.”

Fan Meinan didn’t deny it. What happened to her wasn’t a secret, to begin with. She had known from since she first met Loki, but Loki’s stance had always been very ambiguous until now. He didn’t say if he had a way to help her, nor did he say that he couldn’t help her.

Fan Meinan wanted to fight for the agent position because she knew that if she became Loki’s agent, Loki would definitely not let her die. If she died on the hospital bed before fighting with other agents, Loki would be in big trouble.

However, Fan Meinan didn’t know why Loki would help him. Loki had already withdrawn the power he had given her, and had chosen his agent. Based on Fan Meinan’s understanding of Loki, although he did at times help strangers just for fun, deceiving the Grim Reaper, for instance, it was impossible for him to do it on a whim or out of concern for their previous friendship.

Moreover, judging from the test he gave to Cheng Sihan to kill her own sister, Loki really didn’t care about her life just because Fan Meinan had been his agent for a period of time.

However, Fan Meinan didn’t expect Beta to continue. “The goddess of death, Hila, is teacher’s daughter. No one in this world knows Hila better than him, so if anyone can help you, it has to be teacher.”

After saying that, Beta looked at Fan Meinan, hoping to see the fervent eyes or excitement on the latter’s face. It was as though an oasis suddenly appeared in front of a traveler who had been trekking in the desert for two whole days without a drop of water, or a shipwreck survivor spotting a passing ship—enough to rekindle their hope of survival in a time of complete desolation and despair.

To Beta’s surprise, although Fan Meinan’s eyes lit up, she quickly regained her calm.

“What’s the price?”

“It’s a relief to talk to senior sister,” Cheng Sihan said. “But don’t worry, it’s different from the previous test. What teacher asked you to do this time is very simple. It’s a piece of cake for you. A piece of cake in exchange for your life. There’s no better deal than this, right?”

“Is that what you and my sister said?” Fan Meinan asked in return. She glanced at the white cat in Beta’s arms, “If Loki has something to do, why not just send you to do it? Or find my sister. She’s much better than me. Wouldn’t it be safer to hand it over to her?”

“Teacher isn’t Santa Claus. He rides a reindeer carriage on the roof of every child who wishes for something. Then, he goes down the chimney and puts the gift into their socks,” Beta said. ” Teacher has especially provided you with this transaction, and only you can complete it. As for your sister…”

Beta paused, “Teacher has some opinions about her this time. It’s not because she wanted to force me to find him, and she even showed disrespect to teacher… you know, teacher has never cared about these things. If we can really deceive teacher one day, he will definitely be happy for us. What made teacher unhappy this time was your sister’s stubbornness. You have sufficient reason for wanting to become an agent, but your sister lives for others. After such a long time, she still hasn’t improved, after all. Otherwise, teacher wouldn’t have lost patience with her and come to me again.”

“I don’t think living for others is a sad thing,” Fan Meinan said plainly.

Beta shrugged. “I don’t intend to argue with you, senior sister, because we’re not here tonight to discuss some philosophical proposition. Why don’t you listen to what teacher wants you to do?”

Fan Meinan was silent for a moment. “Before agreeing to your request, I need to ask you a few questions.”

Beta was stunned for a moment, then nodded. “Sure, I’m not in a hurry anyway, but I’ll only answer the questions I know. If your question is beyond my understanding, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“My sister came down with you. Where is she now?”

“Ahh… this…” Beta scratched her head. “I don’t know. We were separated in that infinite loop tunnel before. I thought your sister would be trapped in that tunnel, but I went back later and found that she was no longer there. As for where she went, I’m not sure if she’s still alive. You should know whose territory this is now. I’m actually just a guest here like you guys.”

“Then how did you get out of that endless tunnel?” Fan Meinan asked.

“I’m sorry, this is my secret. Just like how I know that you actually have a very powerful tool hidden on you, ready to give me a fatal blow at any time, but I won’t ask you how you plan to kill me. I Can’t tell you how I got out of that tunnel.”

“What’s under the hole on the second floor?”

They couldn’t get any valuable answers about Cheng Sihan, so Fan Meinan changed the question.

“It’s a pool,” Beta said honestly. Before Fan Meinan could ask her any more questions, he continued, “You’ll definitely ask me what’s under the pool, but I don’t know. The water is a little cold, and I didn’t bring my swimsuit, so I didn’t have any intention of going down for a swim. But I know your boyfriend went down, and he didn’t come out. He must have found something down there.”

“Jemengard is at the bottom of the pool, right?”

“Jemengard?” Beta’s face showed a hint of amusement. “Of course the snake of the atrium is in the atrium.”
